This is a recipe for the whole family (including those with food allergies). It is dairy, soy, nut, wheat, and egg free, packed with vegetables and fats for those growing little ones (or for comfort for us adults in the winter time :-D), and it is actually really easy to make.

This recipe came about because I went into the grocery store hungry. Yeah, bad idea, I know. I thought soup sounded nice and I wanted to add more of a variety of vegetables to our diets, so I wandered around and ended up with what I am calling Winter Comfort Soup! My family and In laws all loved it! Most importantly, my toddler LOVES it! It is very rare to find something that she actually loves to eat, so when I do, it is a huge victory!

Add the parsnip, daikon radish, and garlic into a 10 quart pot with the chicken broth. Heat on medium-high heat until boiling, then reduce to medium heat. Cook for about 15 minutes before adding more ingredients.

In a large sauce pan (I used a wok-style pan), cook the bacon until it is no longer pink (do not cook until it is crispy). Remove the bacon, slice into small pieces, and set aside.

WITHOUT draining the bacon grease, add the onion to the same saucepan and saute over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until semi-translucent.

Meanwhile, add the potatoes, cabbage, Swiss chard, and seasoning mix to the 10 quart pot and mix well. Continue to cook on medium or low-medium heat.

Add the ground pork sausage to the pan with the onions and cook until the meat is almost browned. Then add the slices of bacon and continue cooking until the sausage is completely browned and thoroughly cooked.

Drain the meat in a metal strainer, and add to the 10 quart pot, along with the green onions.

Continue to cook until potatoes are tender, but not mushy, and until the greens are soft (about 10-15 minutes). The total cooking time should not be more than 45 minutes.

Turn off the heat, but leave the pot on the burner and add the rice milk. Stir to combine, wait about 2 minutes, and serve.
